[time-nuts] Oscilloquartz 8601 Rebuild Question

[ed palmer]

   No, I didn't email OSA.  I always assume that if it's available, it'll
   be out of my price range.  For example, I asked Symmetricom if it was
   possible to upgrade the software in an X72 Rubidium to a newer
   version.  All it consisted of was reflashing.  They said it could be
   done for the low, low price of only $1100.  I realize that they aren't
   the best company for hobbyists to deal with, but you get my point.
   Besides, I find that fixing, modifying, and upgrading old equipment is
   a great way to learn about the technologies involved.  Where's the fun
   in whipping out your credit card?

   I did find Pope's site earlier after looking for Dewar flasks on eBay.
   They don't have one that's close enough in size to be worth the cost
   premium over a standard Thermos bottle.  Same with a Google search for
   other Dewar suppliers.
   The original Dewar had internal dimensions of approx. 50 mm in diameter
   by 100 mm deep.

Did you shoot an email to OSA, to check for orginal replacement options?
